As avid truck enthusiasts, we recently had the opportunity to test out three different wheel-and-tire combinations on some cool custom trucks. The goal was to represent different styles of custom and classic truck setups, and the trucks we used were a lifted 2006 Chevy Silverado, a 2014 Nissan Armada, and a 1996 Chevy Tahoe.

 Truck No. 1, the lifted 2006 Chevy Silverado, was fitted with 35×15.50×24 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T tires wrapped around 24×14 Arkon Off-Road Churchill with an offset of +81mm, thanks to the crew at Exclusive Offsets for the installation. This combination perfectly represented the lifted truck look, and the Silverado looked like a true beast on the road. The aggressive tread pattern of the Baja Boss A/T tires and the deep-dish design of the Arkon Off-Road Churchill wheels gave the Silverado an aggressive and commanding presence on the road. If we go off-road, this combination would be an absolute pleasure to ride, and the Silverado will have no trouble navigating even the toughest terrain.

 Truck No. 2, the 2014 Nissan Armada, was fitted with the latest tire from Atturo. The Trail Blade ATS, sized at 305/35R24 along with these 24×10 Asanti Black Corona Truck wheels look so good in person. This combination represented the factory replacement style and gave the Armada a sleek and modern appearance on the road. The street-oriented tread pattern of the Atturo Trail Blade ATS tires and the elegant design of the Asanti Black Corona Truck wheels reduced road noise and provided a smooth ride. However, due to the lower profile choice of tires, the Armada had a slightly harsher ride over bumps, which was expected.

 Truck No. 3, this sweet and smooth 1977 Chevy Blazer, was fitted with Tire 3, the Nexen Roadian. The Detroit Steel Wheel Mack 22×9 with an offset of +18mm is a killer look for this classic truck. This combination represented the classic cruiser look, and the Tahoe looked like a true classic on the road. The balanced tread pattern of the Toyo Proxes ST3 tires and the classic design of the Detroit Steel Wheel Mack wheels provided a comfortable ride and reduced road noise compared to the other combinations.

Overall, we were impressed with all three wheel and tire combinations we tested. Each combination represented a different truck style and performed well in its intended use. If you’re in the market for a new set of wheels and tires, consider your needs and the look you’re going for before making your decision. It’s incredible how much a set of wheels and tires can transform the look and performance of your truck, no matter if it’s a lifted Chevy Silverado, a lowered Nissan Armada, or a classic Chevy Tahoe.
